Approaches that guide remote sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's priorities and rhythm. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set and pursue practical goals that feel manageable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. Sessions often include simple exercises to test thoughts and build new habits useful for anxiety, depression, and attention-related struggles.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when impulsivity, anger, or intense mood swings interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rita will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time as needed.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and schedules permit. Phone sessions can be easier when a short check-in is needed or when video would be difficult. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer written check-ins, want reminders between sessions, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep work on skills between appointments.
